Day of the Lord

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. 2 Pet. 3:10 According to both Peter and Paul, the day of the Lord, is an event that will come as a big surprise, like athief in the night. Paul says that it comes like a thief not to those who are of the light but to…

Proof of Pre-Tribulation rapture ?

 “Where’s the verse?” Having a doctrine with no supporting verses is like having a hamburger with no beef – it’sjust wrong. Strangely, however, one of the most popular doctrines does just that – it has an entire theology without an actual verse supporting it. The Pre-Tribulation rapture is a doctrine with no verse; and this is not just our opinion but readily admitted by the most salient Pre-Tribulation authors. Hal Lindsey, author of the best-selling book The Late Great Planet Earth, and one of the…

Thief in the Night

The phrase is taken from First Thessalonians Chapter Five, where it is written the Day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. It is commonly argued that “the thief in the night” must refer to the rapture and cannot refer to the second coming because that would be obvious, as people could simply read in…

The timing of the Rapture

The timing of the rapture (or the gathering) is not a mystery. Scripture repeatedly says in plain and simple language that it will occur immediately after the tribulation of those days…He will send out his angels to gather His elect. Matt. 24:29-31 The prophets, Jesus, and the disciples plainly tell us the timing; we need not look to shadows and types in Scripture nor…

Are we returning from Heaven with Jesus?

The Pre-Tribulation rapture doctrine teaches that the Church must already be in heaven (by way of the pre-trib rapture) prior to the Second Coming, so that the Church can return to the earth with Jesus. The Book of Jude is usually quoted because many English translations say that the Lord will come with His “saints.” Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His…

Part 1: Gog and Magog war of Ezekiel 38

Who Is “Gog”? Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grass- hoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.Amos 7:1 “Behold” appears as an abrupt participle…What on earth does this verse mean? And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. Amos 7:2, 3 Amos intercedes, like Moses did (Num 14:11-21). “It shall not be”: So the Lord changed His mind: thus, this prophesied event never…
